That guy left in disgrace. He was sold on an idea and proved it
with false data that he knew was false. He was found out and was
forced to resign.

People get into a mode and buy into something only to find it blowing up
in their face.

In the late 60's a like problem - plate tectonics. Some believed and others
po poohed it so badly they lost face when it proved out. Now it is on the
news from time to time after earthquakes or volcano blowing their top.

All it takes is a few senior members to write under a common theme and
a stampede is started to absorb honor and knowledge. Lemmings running
for the edge only sometimes the edge is a slope that leads to the heights.
